A nice permanent exhibit in the engineering and technology museum in Berlin testifies to him being well known in Germany.
This was just a small part of that exhibit that I photographed in the Deutsches Technikmuseum:

The new computer science and automation building of my university in Germany (now the second largest building on the campus) was named after Zuse. I would say that’s quite the honor and recognition, especially considering the other buildings are named after Humboldt, Newton (mechanical engineering), Kirchhoff (electrical engineering), Helmholtz, Leibniz (library), Röntgen, Curie and Faraday.
